Remember this gift from my last post, “Christmas Spirits” …
I said, “I’m not telling who that gift is for or what it is… but you will find out if you see my next post!” So here it is…
The gift was for Gina, my daughter…
It was an outfit…a black and white print peplum top, tulip fringed hem jeans, and red and blue paisley flowered scarf, all from Loft! The red shoulder purse can be turned into a clutch with handle, I got this at a little boutique in Wellesley, MA center! The gold feather earrings were given to Gina by her husband Tom😉
A closer look at the tulip hem jeans, so cute, Gina loved them!! 
This is how I fashioned the outfit for Gina to model!! And this is how she…
fashioned it! She liked this black peplum top from Loft and her leopard shoes from Toms…she will be returning the black and white print top…that’s okay, she’s keeping the rest👍
🎁
And Gina’s gift to us…
Silhouettes of our grandchildren, Aaden and Parker❤️ She had these made on Etsy… I know that they do these at Disney World, we had them made for us 30 years ago!! 
So I went deep into my attic and found these…our family silhouettes from Disney, 30 years ago…
And I inherited these of my mom and dad, made in 1940…
Four generations of silhouettes, what a treasure!!
❤️
And now a sad time for our family, our beloved brother-in-law, Peter, passed away on December 29, after living with Parkinson’s for several years, but only in last 3 years he has had a difficult time. 
He was a loving, kind and fun gentleman, his life was a true gift to the world…We will miss him dearly but we know he is in a better place and his suffering is over… 
Peter loved and he definitely was loved…I know he is in heaven with his loved ones that passed before, holding court and laughing that infectious laugh, like he did in life…
Rest in Peace, my good man❤️

I will think about that… since I have studio it feels like I have no time to do anything else! I think after 2-3 years it will be better!

Your daughter is a beautiful young e woman, and I loved the outfit you picked out for her. Wish we lived closer so I could take you shopping with me! You have great taste. So sorry for your loss, but from what I could conclude from your blog, Peter suffered. So sad, but I’m sure he’s at peace now. God bless and Happy New Year! 💕
